- Collaborate with demand generation and campaigns teams to craft targeted programs, content, and events that resonate with federal decision-makers, systems integrators, and contractors.
- Conduct market and competitive analysis to identify trends, whitespace opportunities, and evolving requirements in the federal data and AI ecosystem.
- Act as product evangelist—presenting at events, webinars, and customer briefings to elevate Progress’s visibility and thought leadership in the public sector.
- Partner with product management to influence roadmap decisions based on market feedback and customer needs within regulated environments.
Your background:
- 6-10 years of product marketing experience in B2B enterprise software, ideally with data, analytics, or AI-driven platforms.
- 3-5 years of experience marketing to U.S. Federal and/or SLED markets, with understanding of federal procurement processes, compliance frameworks (FedRAMP, IL5, etc.), and key agency personas.
- Proven ability to translate complex technology into clear, differentiated value for technical and executive audiences.
- Experience supporting sales and partner ecosystems across multi-stakeholder, long-cycle government opportunities.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration, storytelling, and analytical skills.
- Bachelor’s degree in marketing, business, or related field (MBA a plus)
- Due to working on our Federal team, we can only consider those with US Citizenship
Additionally, it would be beneficial if you have:
- Background in data management, AI/ML, semantic intelligence, or enterprise integration technologies.
